2015 Nissan Qashqai 1.6L Diesel · YT65 CFF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 16 January 2026 at 94,862 miles showing a clean pass with no recorded defects. This follows a period of minor wear-and-tear issues in the preceding year. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, as the mechanical advisories noted in the January 2025 test have been cleared in the latest inspection. The mileage accumulation shows a consistent and predictable pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 8,600 miles per year, which is typical for domestic use. Between January 2024 and January 2026, the mileage increased from 77,317 to 94,862, indicating steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity. This consistent driving often helps prevent issues like seized brake calipers or perished rubber components that can arise from vehicles sitting idle. Recent history suggests the owner is addressing consumable wear as it arises. The January 2025 test flagged worn front suspension arm bushes and a nearside rear tyre nearing the legal limit. While these are standard maintenance items, they indicate that the vehicle is entering a phase of its life where suspension components and tyres require more frequent monitoring. The 2024 advisory regarding thin front brake pads also confirms a pattern of regular wear on the braking system. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the bushes are now fully replaced and free of play. Given the previous advisories, checking the remaining tread depth on all tyres and the condition of the brake discs and pads is advisable. While no structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures have appeared in the records, the transition from 2025 to 2026 shows that the vehicle is moving into a higher-mileage bracket where suspension and braking components will require more rigorous scrutiny.
